Lyft is so much better than UberX! The drivers are much more fun and actually have a personality. It's also cheaper.
If you haven't take your first Lyft yet, download the app and enter code "PROMO1" in the payments section for $20 credit :)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/530f70aaecad04a85f2a450dPat SaisonThu, 27 Feb 2014 12:06:50 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/530f70aaecad04a85f2a450d
Uber stands for Gouge--finding suckers who don't mind being gouged. The entire premise is based on taken advantage of the customer's need or demand. Uber's demise is on the horizon when its customers wise up. Uber is for suckers, and a sucker is born every minute, as they say.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/530ed5c869beddda46049cc3jason smithThu, 27 Feb 2014 01:06:00 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/530ed5c869beddda46049cc3

Liars Ubers are...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/530e86486bb3f73459049ccfSideCar best option right nowWed, 26 Feb 2014 19:26:48 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/530e86486bb3f73459049ccf
I always go to sidecar if possible now. Lyft was my primary choice because I hated getting taken advantage of by Uber's one sided demand price model, but then they implemented a similar idea. However, sidecar went a completely different route and lets drivers bid for your business, which creates a more efficient marketplace. Example:
This morning, raining in SF and I normally walk to work so I needed to take a cab. UberX at 3X with minimum $15 (would have been a $20 ride at least because of the distance), Lyft was +75% which would have been similar, but less than Uber. At first, sidecar was the same with rides from $18 to a crazy $50, but I waited about 5 min and let them bid down to $8 and got a ride at a reasonable price.
So Uber can keep this model and continue to cater to drivers rather than customers and lyft can tag along like a younger brother, but I think sidecar's model that favors customers will win at the end of the day.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/530e82dd69bedd6705049cc90racleWed, 26 Feb 2014 19:12:13 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/530e82dd69bedd6705049cc9
The issue here is how volatile their pricing system is. It's only a matter of time before a competitor offers more stable rates. The challenge is keeping these prices stable during high traffic event days and inclement weather conditions.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/530e7560eab8ea9b0bc8cef0LodgeIckWed, 26 Feb 2014 18:14:40 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/530e7560eab8ea9b0bc8cef0
Nothing to see here.... this is a non issue. Any business can change not only its pricing but its availability for any reason. Unless that business is state regulated. Which of course Uber is not....
